Entegra ASPIRE problems and owner complaints

DRIVING HOME FROM A TRIP WHEN TIRE SUDDENLY EXPLODED. BRAND NEW TIRE BLOWOUT. I AM VERY METICULOUS ABOUT TIRE PRESSURE, AS I CHECK PRIOR TO EVERY TRIP AND MORNING. MY COACH ALSO HAS TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) AND PRESSURE WAS PERFECT. BLOWOUT HAS CAUSED $15K IN DAMAGES AND 5 MONTHS OF REPAIR TIME.

DEF tank head failure. 3 codes on dash, engine light and check engine light. NO warning of when a derate would start, or when an engine shutdown may occur. New part supplied by manufacturer had crystilized DEF on it when recieved at service facility. Suspect supplier may be refurbushing older units, and trying to pass them off as new next generation. Unless and until the manufacturers of these DEF systems can come up with a system that works for 100,000 miles and up, the EPA needs to start to relax the rules on the diesel engine emissions.

I was warned during travel by dashboard warning lights to check engine. It was good I was aware of potential DEF head issues, so I immediately checked the diagnostic codes, the…

I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO OUR GOODYEAR STEER TIRES ON OUT MOTORCOACHES BECAUSE OF BLOWOUTS! THE WEIGHT RATING ON THESE TIRES FOR THE WEIGHT CARRIED UP FRONT IS AT LIMIT OR OVER! I HAVE SCALED MINE RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE AND WAS SLIGHTLY OVER TIRE WEIGHT RATING! ENTEGRA REALIZED THERE MISTAKE INTO LATER YEARS AND CHANGED TO A HIGHER WEIGHT RATED TIRE. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD HAVE MADE THEM CHANGE THESE TIRES AND NO HIGHWAY DEATHS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. IF I WOULD HAVE PUT UNDERRATED TIRES ONTO OUR TRUCKING COMPANY TRUCKS AND…
